I’m comparing a few coffee makers for daily use and would love to hear what others here are using. My priorities are good coffee, easy cleanup, and reliability.My priorities are:
Ninja Specialty Coffee Maker

Breville Barista Express
https://www.amazon.com/Nespresso-Essenza-Original-Espresso-Breville/dp/B073ZGWN12/
Which one would you personally pick, or is there another coffee maker you think deserves a look?
Honestly, I think both of the coffee makers you mentioned are really good options. I’ve personally used the Ninja Specialty Coffee Maker, and I’ve had a really positive experience with it. The coffee tastes great, it’s pretty easy to use, and cleanup hasn’t been a hassle for me. I’ve been using it regularly and haven’t had any major complaints. If I had to choose between the two based on my own experience, I’d go with the Ninja.
I have used this for decades. Makes the best coffee and a full pot in 4 minutes
We do not go for fancy. No froth or ever what they peddle these days. Have seen one go to a lot of work to produce a cup full, but think that is not necessary.
Our choice is called a French Press. That is a generic term; it is a glass beaker with a top that consists of essentially a strainer and a push rod. Put 4 tbs of ground coffee in bottom, fill with boiling water, and wait 4 minutes. Mash the rod down and then pour it out. Our pots make two cups which is just right, but wife picked up a bigger one that might get called into service if we have a guest…
We don’t do whole pots or cup coffee, so a French press might not be right for you.
